Needing a better fit in the shoulders, neck line and bust makes sense. I have another dolmain sleeve in my cupboard that I'll show you when I get a chance. It possibly has similar issues though. And thanks Charmain, I'll check out that link! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---batwing-stripe-top#post-855936 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:42:05 +0000 Anonymous 855936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed I'm not keen on the fit on neck and shoulders too. It may have looked better untucked as well. I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---batwing-stripe-top#post-855711 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:46:10 +0000 Thistle 855711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pairing of the stripes with the bright skirt!</p> <p>I would, however, return the top. I do not think it is the sleeves that are of concern, rather the fit through the bust and shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---batwing-stripe-top#post-855705 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:43:00 +0000 Charmian 855705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's no rule that says pears can't wear dolman sleeves! I had figure flattery concerns too (I'm an IT) when I bought my first and only dolman sleeve item. If you haven't seen it, Angie had some suggestions on how to find the right dolman sleeve top in her post <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/10/13/dolman-sleeve-tops-are-fab/">here</a> (scroll down to her comment, where she specifically addresses pears).</p> <p>It's possible for this particular top to work for you, but in this particular outfit it's not draping well. I can't tell whether it's because of the top's fabrication or because it's tucked into a structured pencil skirt or something else. How do you feel when you wear it over jeans? Over the pencil skirt, untucked?</p> <p>I do love me some stripes, and that blue/white combo is so fresh and springy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---batwing-stripe-top#post-855694 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:32:23 +0000 Angie 855694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return. The neckline is too low and wide and you are loosing structure because of it. Try this same style with a higher neck and you'll see quite a difference. </p> <p>Great skirt and fun sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---batwing-stripe-top#post-855359 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 11:00:29 +0000 An 855359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm struggling with the current change in silhouettes to looser and more voluminous clothes. My body shape is pear with current secondary apple tendencies following my little bubba:). In the past, when I am minus the apple part, I always go for fitted tops and structured bottoms. So I guess my question is, as a pear can I wear batwing tops and does this one work? Keep or return? </p>
